Recognized as one of “The 10 Friendliest Cities In the U.S.” by Cond Nast Traveler’s

What’s new in SAN ANTONIO

As the seventh-largest city in the nation and one of the fastest growing, San Antonio always has something new and exciting to explore. Here are a few of San Antonio’s newest offerings as well as developments on the horizon.

The Alamo Restoration & Enhancement

The Alamo, one of the most historically significant sites in the U.S., is being preserved and enhanced for future generations through a multi-year, multiphase restoration and enhancement process. The restoration includes preservation of the Alamo Church and Long Barrack and the creation of a WorldClass museum and visitors center.

San Pedro Creek Culture Park

Heavily utilized during the Spanish colonial era, this $175 million redevelopment will reflect San Pedro Creek’s rich history and create a sense of place by making the two-mile stretch more accessible with hike and bike trails and through the addition of public art. It features installations from prominent San Antonio artists including murals, ceramic art, tiled benches and historical text and poetry.

Guadalupe Cultural Center Guadalupe Cultural Center - is the city’s home for Latino, Chicano, and Native American performing arts and entertainment. Inside, the Galeria Guadalupe showcases art exhibitions emphasizing local and regional artists, and the GCAC’s professional resident program, the Guadalupe Dance Company, specializes in Mexican folklorico and flamenco dance styles.

THE ALAMO

SAN PEDRO CREEK CULTURE PARK

Arts & Culture

San Antonio’s creative community never ceases to amaze. While new public art and creative works are popping up daily, be sure to check out some of these latest works of art. Take a stroll in Historic Market Square and stop by Centro de Artes Gallery, which recently reopened after being closed for a year and a half due to the pandemic, to see one of many rotating exhibits featuring art pieces by immensely talented artists. San Antonio artist Kaldric Dow is the mastermind behind “Spheres of Reflection,” a sculpture paying homage to the representation of African American culture. Head to San Antonio’s east side at Martin Luther King Park to see this sculpture that features elements influenced by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings. The San Antonio River Walk has an exciting new cultural destination: The River Walk Public Art Garden. Located near the intersection of Market and Alamo Streets, this outdoor museum provides a full public art experience, including free-standing sculptures, wall-mounted art installations and informational displays. Among art installations found at The River Walk Public Art Garden is a portion of the “Bloom” series by Leticia Huerta. “Bloom” features oversized metal flower sculptures that, up close, resemble larger-than-life bicycle parts. The original “Bloom” installation can be found at Mud Creek in McAllister Park while the latest “blossom” can be found at Mario Farias Park. You can also find “Bloom” installations in Eisenhower Park and Brazos Pocket Park. For even more public art finds, visit www. SanAntonio.gov/Arts or follow @getcreativesa. Finally, head over to the McNay Art Museum for an enhanced outdoor museum experience featuring additional works of art, “invisible” new landscaping and increased accessibility. Vibrant florals, dozens of native and drought-resistant trees, scenic walkways, meditative seating areas and enhanced lighting welcome you to a pleasant outdoor stroll among brilliant works of art.
